Whenever I aimlessly meander through unfinished construction sites, looking at the same unfinished bits as I looked at the week before, just as my questioning over my career choice begins to sound louder in my head, the sound of the sub-main cable pulling team heaving a cable through the building is confirmation that there are much much worse jobs.

@HaveTelfer

A good intended use of a comma, the apostrophe I note is being used as an abbreviation for "is", commonly found in the acceptable spoken word version of English and the exclamation mark is therefore conveying punchiness to the overall statement.

I feel your comment would be structured better and convey the intended impact if the exclamation mark was used sooner, after the word "life".

This would then lead to capitalising the first S in the proper name Strudel.

I have noted the use of the apostrophe is good in the context of spoken English.

AJ Bell do allow all sorts of buy / sell limits and, I have found, can execute your trade when other brokers can't during periods of general market turmoil. Maximum time span for a limit order to be active is 90 days.

And for info Charles Stanley are also on the "less than ideal" list of brokers, only allowing limits to be set that are valid for one day.

Also annoyingly I think it is Interactive Investor who don't let you set limits greater than a set percentage from the current market price. So you'll basically never get an automatic limit buy trade executing during a fortuitous fleeting downward spike. Nor be able to head to the hills or sun lounger knowing that you can have holiday fun with your "sell if it doubles" limit poised to cash in. I have also seen ii not execute limit orders even though numerous other trades have gone through the market at my trigger price - and ended up manually stepping in, cancelling the limit order, placing my own At Best order and achieving pricing better than my limit threshold. I guess this is the price paid for psuedo-free trading....

Other brokers such as x-o, iWeb and Hargreaves Lansdowne also let you set a variety of limits, open for up to 90 days, without restriction.

....and as everyone else told you first and foremost in their replies, setting sell limits on AIM shares is madness.

I shall see you all in the Cheese.

@L-A

AGM votes on average per resolution this year 1,826 million votes out of 5,090 million shares in issue.

Last year's AGM 1,446 million out of 5,015 million shares in issue.

So 35% of holders voted this year as compared to 28% last year.

In 2021's AGM there were only 726 million votes cast on average, less than half of recent turnouts.

I believe this proves that the sticky PI hands are using their votes where previously they did not bother.

Archways - always an absolute gentleman.

Stay strong.

Hi Speedy,

You must've been delighted with Shaun's opening remarks at the TH - where he said every armoured van leaving the Perth Mint heads to the airport and loads gold bars into planes bound for Beijing. And that one way traffic has been ongoing for months.

With regards to tasty fish, I recall sitting at one end of a canoe on a Yukon river as my travelling companion at the other end, totally bored decided fishing would while away some time, and dangled a hook into the water. I just managed to say the words "you'll never catch anything with just a hook" and before I could suggest what bait would be suitable, an Arctic Char was foul hooked and hauled into the canoe.

Our amuse buche that evening was spectacular - char cooked directly on an open fire. It almost inspired me to take up fishing, but I fear it just ruins a good sit.

"....I’m saying is 5 or 6 drills enough to pinpoint a target on Decka"

Did Rio (or previous tenement owners) do any Decka drilling? Or were they only drilling close to HAV at Stingray and Rio being Rio, remaining very tight-lipped about results.

Pick the 5 or 6 close clustered worse HAV drill results and imagine we drill those (by unlucky fluke) as an equivalent first set at Decka or any new target. For all the appliance of science I believe that luck plays an enormous role. If the resolution of geo-phys produces 3D fuzzy lumps and bumps plus or minus 10 or 20m (or more) and the difference between lots of gold and hee-haw is 5m, then we'd better continue to be more lucky rather than scientific.

TH was the usual fun in the Chesh Cheese followed by very interesting words from Shaun - especially the stuff where he stops talking at a specific point.

I do also appreciate a smoked salmon sarnie, even if they were probably farmed Norwegian. Sometimes you have to accept compromises.

HAD005 was a very very lucky fluke - to hit one of HAV's best drill results as hole no.5, rather than hole no 205 is to be considered exceptional, not the norm.

From the Rio JV:

§ ..... 2,000 metres of drilling before 31 December 2024

- Stage 1 Farm-In:.....7,500 metres of drilling within four years;

and

- Stage 2 Farm-In: ......completing a further 17,000 metres of drilling within three years of completing the Stage 1 Farm-In.

If you look at how much more drilling is required for our full % gain of the JV and the timescales - potentially seven years - then you have to be patient. The quantity of drilling and the timescales are the norm for exploration.

I can see us completing the stage 1 drilling of 7,500m and the results still being a bit "meh". The telling moment will be if Rio do not commit money to fund more drilling, but Greatland have the courage of their convictions (and Callum Baxter's "How to Drill Deep and Hit Things" paper in their back pocket) and do commit to the next 17,000m on their own. It would be more financially rewarding, we earn 75%, if our success with the drill bit comes much much later.

Recognise the fact we were all spoiled by HAD005, and Scallywag 004 and Blackhills 003 were unrealistic wishful thinking.

Satellite activity?

It might be picked up if I do the homework you set me.

Rudall tenement name, located south west of HAV

Ramses is the name of the interesting deep bullseye target

First drill hit a lump of solid silver 800m down - detailed in an RNS.

Return to wireline the hole was thwarted a few weeks later cos the hole had collapsed.

I asked Shaun early on at the TH if they had returned to redrill cos Rudall was listed under Scallywag on all the presentations during the last week as having assay results pending. "No" he said they hadn't done a second hole yet, so that is a typo on the presentation material.

Rio JV became a bigger drill priority with Budjidown.

....and now Ernest Giles is the next bigger priority.

Maybe they'll get back before Christmas or the next time they are doing a round yif drilling within 20km of HAV.

I reckon you could do a trading halt before the ASX opens, stop all trading for the day and then announce a re-opening with an evening RNS in Oz, which would be a morning RNS in the UK and keep trading (in the UK) without a halt - all courtesy of the time zone differences.

Would keep the ASX and AIM markets happy as it would adhere to their norms about what news merits a trading halt.

£12.30 price, with a 90 day lock-in period.....

Who feels as if they are not on a level playing field?

You mean "been & gone"

Tuesday RNS at 5.03pm

My broker email arrived 5.46pm

Offer closed at 6.30pm (or possibly before depending on the uptake)

.....how to ensure the Private Investor is ignored.

Should we be grateful it wasn't done on a Friday?

..... I just prime a bigger shovel at these rebalances to get more trading shares into my ISA for the tax year. Quite pleasing to know we are getting predictable dips.

Hmm, some heavy FUD-ing I see, of decent quality I note.

If I didn't have an appointment with a Greek waterfall I'd be setting a series of buy limits to run over the course of the next few trading days.

Remind me again, who is rebalancing?

....one of the junior / exploration / mining / precious metal funds?

Thanks to all who braved the fierce Scottish sun yesterday in Stirling..... Now there's words I'd never thought I'd type in my lifetime.

It was disappointing that Rose the Redhead never made it - maybe that's my misunderstanding thinking she and Liam are joined at the hip?

So my plan to while away a happy few hours doing tequila slammers with Rose changed into a GGP cluster under an outdoor table's parasol putting the world of GGP, Newcrest, Newmont, Shaun, Sandeep and Sherry to rights.

The future will no doubt prove us all wrong..... but that's Shaun for you.

Hi Archways

It was good to meet you again in Stirling after a fleeting encounter at the Town Hall ( where I sneaked in to borrow MagicTrades for a bit of quizzing).

We'll raise a glass to you this Saturday at our next Stirling Meet and at your 4th anniversary.....

Health beats all concerns about any SP.

Next Stirling meet is planned for Saturday afternoon, 3rd June, at the Birds and The Bees, details here:

Please reply to the thread if you think you are attending.....

And, we do have a Someone Special, for the midday meet.

Nope, not Shaun Day visiting his Scottish second cousins, but Mr Bottle Rocket..... not sure if he has any Scottish cousins..... all welcome.

A closer meet happens in Hockley, periodically. They had an early April gathering.....
